. The Victoria history of the county of Surrey. Natural history. ECCLESIASTICAL ARCHITECTURE type common in Kent. The blind tracery at the back of the reredos is slightly earlier, c, 1340.

WiTLEY.—East windows of chancel and north chapel. WoKiNC.—Windows in chancel and south aisle; upper part of tower, c. 1340. There are several curious square-headed windows in this period, those at St. Mary's Guildford, Chiddingfold, Ockham and Cobham. That at Guildford is peculiarly graceful in design. The three lights have ogee cinquefoiled heads, and over these are somewhat narrow vesicas, quatrefoiled, the whole richly moulded. The other windows are somewhat later, and, although of generally similar design, are not so refined in detail as this. The east window of Oxted church is one of the finest in the county, and the flowing design of the tracery is singularly beautiful. ' FROM c. 1350 TO c. 1400. The succeeding half-century (i 350-1400) saw the change from flowing to straight lines in the tracery. Most Surrey churches show windows, doors and other features of this and the succeeding periods. A few instances may suffice. Betchworth.—^A good typical example of two lights in north wall of north aisle of nave, with pointed segmental head, c. 1390. Beddington.—The entire church with the exception of the south chapel: in build- ing, 1390. BooKHAM, Great.—Enlarged south aisle and porch, with doorway and good three-light windows of the same date and character as that at Betchworth and the windows at Effingham (below), c. 1390. Croydon.—^A noble building, the design of which dates from c. 1390. Destroyed by fire in 1867, and rebuilt mainly on the old lines.' Effingham.—^East window and two-light eastern windows, north and south walls of chancel, 1388.^ Earn HAM.—The nave arcades and parts of the transepts,
